While I’m still mourning the loss of the 2020 IOCDF conference (and a trip to Seattle!), I am excited for the upcoming Online OCD Conference. The schedule is here and , as always, it features some great talks. I’ll be presenting a talk for families - “All Grown Up: Adjusting to Better Help Your Adult Child with OCD” on Saturday, 8/1 at 2pm. I’ll also be running a Community Discussion Group (formerly known as a support group) for parents of adult children with OCD on Friday, 7/31 at 12:30pm.
